Same goodies and flaws of previous volume: awesome art, great character/world building, cheesy/not aged much well dialogues/storylines (Circe's one was worst one for me).
But Superman/Diana first "date" in John Byrne's Action Comics #600 collected here was a real masterpiece.

2.0 to 2.5 stars. Volume three of George Perez's reboot of Wonder Woman. Not bad but not great either although this storyline did include Darkseid which was a plus.

"Wonder Woman: In my confusion, I had expect Superman to be like a God, perhaps my expectations were too high. Yet I thought we would have more in common than just unique powers. While my desire is to teach and inspire humanity to seek peace...
...He seems to relish the role of enforcer and guard for society.
I respect him too much to publicly express my disappointment...I just pray that he understands."
This volume is continuing the quality telling of the heroine of truth and her adjustment to the world outside of Paradise Island. As Diana has made a name a name for herself, she has attracted fans and enemies in equal measure. To such enemies, the Silver Swan and long-time enemy Circe make their introductions. We also get a one-off date with Superman that ends with a battle with Darkseid. It was a notable because Wonder Woman outlines (after said meet-up) pretty well what makes her and Superman different and it is one of the highlights of this volume.
As usual, George Pérez artwork goes hand-in-hand with his phenomenal storytelling. The post-Crisis on Infinite Earths comics came out at the end of the hand-drawn era of comic books and Pérez shows why he was one of the greatest illustrators of the 1980s here.
The three stories here were not as big in-scale as the previous volumes, but are still quality enough to continue the character development and story development of the world of Diana the Wonder Woman (whose 75th birthday is this year).

Considering how old this comic is, my expectations weren't high that I'd enjoy it. I didn't like the New Teen Titans from the '80s and suspected this would have a similar feel. While it does have that '80s vibe, this book is much more entertaining.
I can relate to the pen-pal story with Silver Swan because nowadays, making friends online just happens, and I understand how a girl can spend years writing to a friend without ever having met her. The curiosity of what the other person looks like, the desire to eventually meet that person, and the excitement/nervousness of actually meeting that person, all make sense to me. Unfortunately, the story gets left without a real resolution.
There were a few things that made me snort, like the section that focuses on a potential romance between Wonder Woman and Superman, but I liked how it was handled in the end.
There's also some girl pining for a boy who doesn't care about her, who threatens to unfriend her best friend for trying to get her to see the truth. *shrugs* Ah, well, what can you do?
And, oh my gosh! You know how Wonder Woman has this history of being associated with bondage, particularly of the female/female variety? *starts cackling* YEP. IT'S DEFINITELY HERE. *cough-Circe-cough* I actually started laughing out loud looking at all the panels. They even used the word "bondage" - UM, OKAY. *still snickering*
*clears throat* ANYWAY.
All things considered, Wonder Woman is pretty cool here. She's less about violence and brutality than her New 52 self, and more about caring for others and doing what's right, which I appreciate. She's not as charismatic as Gail Simone's version, but really, few can match Gail Simone's character work. And she still has her trademark moments of questioning inequality and the need for social division.
I'm gonna read the next one.

Once again, I find the only thing that I disliked about George Perez's 'Wonder Woman' stories is that I wish they were longer. This volume boasts three stories, each of which I would love to see more fleshed out, with greater insight into the newly-introduced characters. Each of the stories are fascinating new explorations of the world, and the art is still top-notch. And yet again, Perez takes a rather experimental turn in essentially slicing an issue in half, using the first half to wrap up a story, and the second to start the ball rolling for the following.
While George Perez's work as a penciler is of course stellar, I will admit that I'm not a fan of the blockiness and simplification of his line work by Dick Giordano's inking in the latter 3 issues. It was interesting to see John Byrne's work in the Action Comics insertion--indeed, this is the first time in this series of trades that we've seen a new penciler--but Byrne's work is stylistically similar enough that to the casual reader, I don't think a difference is noticed. That can be good or bad, I suppose.
[SPOILERS]
The Silver Swan story is an interesting investigation into the theme of jealousy and abusive relationships. Perez creates a genuine super villain for Wonder Woman, in the same vein as the Cheetah, so I very much want to see more of her as a character and of course whether or not she overcomes the tragedy that is her life. But, alas, the story is brief.
The Superman/Wonder Woman vs. Darkseid story is terribly fascinating and I loved every minute of it. John Byrne was doing what he does best as an artist, but it was honestly the premise of Darkseid's invasion of Olympus, to be repelled by Supes and Diana (who are exploring their own relationship) that really piqued my interest. Seriously, this could have been a 6-part story and I would have read the hell out of it. But, alas, the story is brief.
Diana exploring her roots throughout Greece is a great way to change things up environmentally. It was also a good opportunity to learn more about Prof. Kapatelis and her family/background. While I was ardently hoping that the villain revealed would be Antiope, I was certainly happy to see Circe brought in. Circe's origin is a bit convoluted, so had that part been stretched out a bit, it might have been a more successful story. But, alas, the story is brief.
Admittedly, I did not until now think that Prof. Kapatelis and her daughter Vanessa were so thickly Greek. While Perez's penciling is of course great and Gafford and Wood's coloring have been superb, I'm sad to now see that the characters should have been drawn with Greek facial structures and hair, with according skin and hair tones. I absolutely applaud the use of relatable and admirable female characters so prominently within the book, but I can't help but wonder what the choices were, and who made them, in the character creation process.
I think my main criticisms with this book--and the series in general--might be a bit unfair, too. After all, I am looking at a comic from the late 80s through the eyes of someone in 2016. The comic industry was undergoing a lot of changes at that time, and is certainly still evolving.
Fun side note: like many DC fans, the animation interpretations have had a profound influence on my reading of the comics. I read many of the characters throughout the DCU thinking of some of the voice actors from the great pantheon of animated film and television. I find it interesting, though, that for Circe, I inevitably read her with the voice of Rachel York from the 'Justice League: Unlimited' episode. But with Darkseid, I think I will always read him with Frank Welker's over-the-top gravel-voice from 'Superfriends.'

Wonder Woman is one of those many characters whom I can't say that I ever disliked, but I never gave much thought to or had much interest in for most of my life. Then, one day, I pulled a few Perez issues out of a cheap comics bin and promptly went out and hunted down George's entire 62-issue run.
Finally, DC has done me the courtesy of collecting the first two years of the series - the issues that George drew (plus the Byrne-illustrated lead from Action #600 and the non-Perez all-star jam on Wonder Woman Annual #1) - into four nice trades.
Thankfully, the stories age very well (thankfully, because I actually bought all four before I sat down to start re-reading them). Forgoing traditional super-heroism (for the most part), Perez sells me by focusing intently on the mythology behind Diana - the Olympian gods are huge players in the series, Diana frequently battles minotaurs, hydras, gorgons and more, and the traditional, Greek society of Themyscira has NEVER been better developed than it was in these pages.
Major kudos to scripters Greg Potter and Len Wein for establishing the formal lilt of the series' prose - heavy captions and flowery language re-inforce the ancient, formal and traditional backdrop of the series.
Diana battles Ares the War God, is sent on a classis hero quest, bonds with some extremely well written Bostonians, discovers joy, elation and tragedy (poor Myndi Mayer's final story was a real tearjerker), finds that her gods are fallible and establishes that, yes, Diana will kill when her hand is forced (so why was it such a big deal in Sacrifice? ).
Great art, great writing (Perez doesn't miss a beat when taking over scripting from Wein) and terrific, fun, engaging stories.

This volume introduced more of Wonder Woman's classic villains including Sliver Swan and Circe. Sliver Swan's story was tragic. She didn't choose to be a villain but became one because she was physically and emotionally manipulated by a man. I hope Wonder Woman helps her because Valerie did not deserve this at all. Circe was another mythological villain that I really enjoy. It was nice to see Diana visit Greece with Julia and Vanessa. I'm loving the relationship between these three. They're the highlight of Perez's run so far!
Diana's crush on Superman was weird though. I dislike how naive she is when it comes to romantic relationships. Surely, someone on Themyscira would've taught her about these things...

When I was little girl I used to love Wonder Woman. I would twirl around real fast in my Wonder Woman Underoos to become her and then fly (jump off the sofa), and lasso evil villains (my siblings) with my golden lariat (My jumprope).
A friend lent me some wonder woman graphic novels to read. I hadn't thought much about wonder woman since I was about 7 or 8, I'd say. I was skeptical that I would like them. I'm not a huge fan of DC style superheroes, but truly I loved her all over again.

Some of this was quite cheesy with Wonder Woman swooning over Superman but the part where Superman tries to kiss Wonder Woman and she isn't having it is priceless.. toward the end the story got pretty interesting. So overall, worth the read!

This was not good… George Pérez art, as usual, was flawless, but the story… that’s something else.
Silver Swan’s was so stereo typically wrong. So much drama over pen pal besties.
The Superman issue (finally read it after so long), was kinda meh. It wasn’t awkward as in it was odd to have Diana and Clark together, it was awkward because of how badly it was portrayed.
And finally, the Circe story. While she’s also a great character, the story was so convoluted and filled with so much unnecessary narrative that was quite tiresome.
I enjoyed these stories back in the day, but they don’t translate so nicely so the way stories are told now.

An eye candy feast by George Perez! This is such an enjoyable read, and the artwork is so great that you almost have to read the page and then go back and just stare at the artwork, analyzing them like you would a painting. Perez is one of all-time favorites, alongside John Byrne, John Romita, Sr. and Gil Kane. The only sub-par issue is Annual No. 1, as it features artwork by some less than notables like John Bolton.

apparently lesbians or bisexual women do not exist (even tho sapho is mentioned) and attraction only happens between people of different genders *eye roll* considering the time it was written tho, this is not so shocking. still, interesting read.
May 26, 2019
Not much to say here other than "it's still good". If you liked the preceding volumes, then keep going! This one has some interesting stuff with Darkseid and one of Perez's better contributions, Silver Swan.

It just got really weird.

I have always enjoyed reading mythology and Wonder Woman always had mythological roots, wrapped in tales of a modern super heroine.

diana's giddiness towards superman was super cute. and loved that he did not meet her espectations of him. circe introduction as a enemy capable of outdoing darkseid is super cool.

In Beauty and the Beasts, Wonder Woman gets the chance to confront her feelings for Superman. I haven't read any of the Superman comics, but doesn't he end up with Lois Lane sometime around when he becomes Clark Kent at the Daily Planet??? Or am I wrong?
Well, in the end Wonder Woman and Superman are just friends. At least in this volume they aren't planning on shacking up anytime soon. Which to me, is a relief.
In the following chapters, we meet the Silver Swan (which I'm assuming this is the origin story). It's quite sad, in my opinion. Silver Swan is as much a victim as anyone. At least, that's how they're presenting it in this volume. Stuck in an abusive relationship with someone who's using her powers for evil. Of course, the fight scene between Wonder Woman and the Silver Swan was quite epic! I'm just curious of her wings were naturally hers or if they are artificially implanted into her body or if they are ones that she puts on. In the end scene of their battle she's shown on a beach side without her wings. I'm just curious if they will revisit the Silver Swan story.
Later on, Wonder Woman meets with Steve Trevor and reveals their connection and he finally learns about his mother. I do like that Steve and Wonder Woman's relationship is platonic and that they are more like brother and sister versus potential love interests. It's sweeter that Steve and Etta are together.
We also come across the evil Darkseid and Circe in this volume. Two very bad bad villains. With Darkseid he just wants to rule everything. He's just a bully that's all about "mine, mine, mine". He's not my favorite villain thus far. Now, Circe on the other hand. She's quite evil, seductive, wrathful and ready to get her way no matter the cost. Just my kind of villain. Wonder Woman and Circe meet while Wonder Woman is visiting Julia K. in Greece. At least in this volume Circe has a developed story that involves mythology and explains her need to kills Wonder Woman. Thankfully her plans are thwarted by Hermes before her evil doings come to fruition. But cautious Wonder Woman feels that she may return. In the meantime, the gods have created a new pact. One that ties the gods together instead of separating them. Which makes me curious as to how all of this will play in the end. Because if anyone knows anything about Zeus, it's that he's top dog and likes to be the sole top dog. How will he work with his fellow gods Hades and Poseidon?
Overall, I've really enjoyed reading Perez's Wonder Woman series. The illustrations are typical to the superhero comic/graphic novel aesthetic. I do like that they have made Wonder Woman look like a realistically in shape woman and that she's not scantily clad. Her armor is styled in the typical form that we all know and that she's not a small frail woman. She's got power in her presence. She's Wonder Woman. I also like that she's not a silly woman, but in fact a woman, Amazon/goddess, trying to understand Man's world and everything that entails. Including human emotions. There's a quality to her character that Perez and the other writers have brought that make Wonder Woman relate able as a character. I recommend this Wonder Woman series.

I enjoyed the section with Superman & Wonder Woman together, but overall I'm getting a little sick of these older Wonder Woman books. I always like the whole god angle in Wonder Woman's background, but it seems like that all you get in these. She's rarely a super hero, or even interesting. I'm not interested in the stuff with the mom and daughter that have adopted Wonder Woman and I really hate the romance with Etta and Steve. I'm hoping these will eventually turn into the kind of Wonder Woman stories I enjoy, but I'm not holding my breathe. I miss Lynda Carter.

Well, story-wise this was a bit of a mess. They had a story of their own that kind of got scrapped in favor of that Superman crossover (which was, uhm, not good)and then the following issue they picked up like nothing had happened. Okay? I don't mind TOO much, though, because it's clear that the strength of this book - what it's important to it - are the characterizations, which is really what matters the most at the end of the day.
December 21, 2013
Perez's Wonder Woman is awesome. His story lines are complex and well thought out. Diana is more than just a super hero, she's a warrior with a cause. I also appreciate that her boobs are not super enormous or her waist super tiny. This volume actually does touch upon beauty and self-esteem issues, and while I think it could have gone deeper, the fact that it's even mentioned in a comic book that primarily men were reading in the 1980s is pretty incredible.
July 30, 2012
Outside of the bizarre insertion of a Superman v. Darkseid issue in the middle of an otherwise unmemorable arc, it's stunning how tame and predictable this got so quickly. Knowing that things pick up relatively soon, it's easy to keep going, but this early work is a microcosm of how difficult Wonder Woman has been for so many writers.
April 27, 2009
The whole Darkside/Superman side story was lame and badly written. I was looking to see if it was a one shot that was thrown into this trade. The rest was pretty good. Its still strange to see how more mature the story telling has gone in 15 years.
June 28, 2013
The team-up between Wonder Woman and Superman was cool, bringing in Darkseid because all books think they need to. The art's great and some of the other stories are okay, but this volume wasn't as good as the previous two.

Suffered from power escalation. The wonder behind superhero comics is how they relate to the regular world. Sometimes when they deal with galactic or universal level comic dangers that humanity is lost, that was the case here.
July 14, 2008
Why it says I read it in 1987: I own the first 60 something first printing issues of the George Perez run and treasure them heart breakingly.
September 17, 2008
Perez's now-classic Wonder Woman stands up remarkably well on a re-read.
May 28, 2011
Perez is simply one of the best artists in the business. Visually stunning, even after all these years.

Excellent. I loved the inclusion of Action Comics Annual #600
